Hello. I am 14 and i am really worried i might have cancer because my chest hurts and i am spitting mucus with blood but my mom says its because i have a cold and i should not worry about it but i googled it and on this medical website it told me i could have lung cancer  
First of all!! Never ever look up your symptoms and find a diagnoses on the Internet. I once searched chest pain and I got diagnoses such as Cancer, Stroke, Heart disease etc! Turns out I just had a chest infection which soon cleared up. I know though, me telling you this won't 100% put your mind at east as It never did with me when I got answers of people on here. Best thing I advise is just go to your doctor, see if he can reccomend anything. If this problem still occurs then ask for a second opinion- chest x-ray maybe? Don't worry and hope you get everything sorted soon.

Please, 2edela. Listen to Lucy. The internet is the LAST place you want to look up medical issues. If you look them up on here, in a last-resort stand, go to WebMD or the MayoClinic. Do not look at Yahoo-Answers or Wiki-Answers. It's for your own good; trust me.
